🌱✊ LUPA SA MAGSASAKA, HINDI PAX SILICA! 🌱✊ October is peasant’s month, and today, hear from the League of Filipino Students UCB and SFSU, and Anakbayan Santa Cruz as they discuss what a bungkalan is, how it’s used as a form of farm worker and peasant resistance and self sufficiency, and what the land truly means to the Filipino people. Additionally, the people’s resistance goes beyond bungkalan. Organizations like AMBALA have rallied for land and against Pax Silica, and this past September, the US-wide campaign Shut the Pax Down, was officially launched. Sign onto the campaign as an organization or individual at tiny.cc/shutdownpaxsilica.

Last Thursday, we joined @aim_umd to speak out against UMD’s annual STEM Career Fair and how they funnel students to work for war profiteers! No matter who you meet, a Filipino’s life is shaped by forced migration. The poverty that forces nearly 10,000 Filipinos to migrate every day is because of over a century of exploitation by US imperialism and its local ruling lapdogs. Pax Silica is just the latest iteration, where the Philippines, and other countries in the Global South, are ceding their OWN LAND to the US and foreign companies. Pax Silica is turning the Philippines into not just a launching pad, but an industrial hub for US-led war against China. And defense contractors on our campus, like AeroVironment, collude with these agreements to profit off war and plunder. Filipino youth, we must be bold and daring, and take up the issues happening back home as our own! We need to take the lead from people like Christina Pasion, who went back home to serve the most impacted and is fighting back against political repression. Filipino youth and allies, we must SHUT DOWN PAX SILICA!

Anakbayan San Diego, Anakbayan Long Beach, Migrante San Diego came together to sing Lagi Ko Kayong Kasama after our SoCal Martial Law Action as tribute para sa kasamas natin ~ Negros 19. Limang buwan na ang nakalipas mula nang mangyari ang pagpaslang sa Negros 19. Sa Negros, tinatawag ng mga tao ang massacre bilang Toboso 19 dahil napakarami nang naganap na pagpatay sa Negros, kaya mahirap nang pag-ibahin ang mga ito. Limang buwan mula nang pagpatay ng AFP sa Toboso, Negros Occidental, ang ating mga kasamang sina Lyle, Kai, RJ, Alyssa, Errol, at ibang mga Pilipinong magsasaka at miyembro ng komunidad. Mas lalong nag-aalab ang apoy sa ating mga puso. Patuloy tayong lalaban at mananawagan ng Hustisiya para sa Negros 19. Mabuhay ang Negros 19!

The baddest Filipinos are holding it down in College Park! But why? Last week commemorated the No To War and Plunder Week of Action, where Filipino-American activists and international solidarity groups across the country launched community campaigns to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in NYC. Together, they advocated for people’s rights, for national sovereignty, and for social liberation. Most notably, hundreds of individuals walked across NYC on September 22nd to protest Trump’s visit to the UN General Assembly in convening with government officials such as Marcos Jr. & Netanyahu. Activists in particular scrutinized Trump and Marcos’ involvement with U.S. led initiative, Pax Silica, aiming to secure resources for artificial intelligence initiatives at the expense of Filipino livelihoods. As plans for Pax Silica seem to expand, the Philippine government’s complicity with Trump harms local communities in Tarlac - displacing locals and stripping environmental resources while pushing forward geopolitical tensions. Not all of us can be in NYC confronting the Philippine state – therefore some of us have got to hold it down in College Park, because the mass movement is everywhere! At Monday’s Computer Science Career Fair, we joined forces with other anti-imperialist student organizations to protest UMD’s connections to the military-industrial complex, and to empower students to find career paths that don’t funnel their skills and talents towards employers implicated in crimes against humanity. We highlighted how the defense contractors and AI technology at the heart of Pax Silica pose a threat to civilian safety in the Philippines – and increase the likelihood of more massacres at the hands of the Philippine State.

Where is Lazaro? Where is the Philippine Consulate? Di of Anakbayan USA responds to the empty words of Philippine foreign secretary Tess Lazaro at the UN General Assembly. The Philippine government claims to “protect Filipino migrants” but are only seen colluding with the fascist US state that has illegally detained, abused, and trafficked Filipinos. Over 200 Filipino cruise ship workers and seafarers have been racially-profiled, harassed, held for questioning and deported at the Ports of Baltimore, Norfolk, Boston and San Diego since June 2025, with no adequate response from the PH government to ensure their safety. Most recently 11 Filipinos were taken from Boston denied from proper due process. Kuya Raul, a union sanitation worker and resident from Jersey, was detained by ICE in August 2026. The Philippine Consulate promised they would work to prevent Raul’s transfer to another facility, but they failed. Raul was transferred to a detention facility in Mississippi, torn almost a thousand miles away from his family, friends, and allies. We need to fight for our kababayan because we know Tess Lazaro won’t. Mobilize with us for the upcoming hearings of detained filipinos: 9/30: Ate Veronica & Kuya Raul 10/7: Kuyas Nestor & Desmond 10/9: Kuya Richard Attend the Defend Migrants Alliance Call on 9/29 RSVP: tinyurl.com/DMASEPT29 And join us in the fight to free all detained migrants on the national day of action 10/7!
